Proxy Authorization

Proxy Authorization -- Making use of a HTTP proxy

How to use Proxy Authorization

Using a proxy server with anonymous access

In this example it is assumed that one wants to use the machine with the hostname proxy.example.com, where a proxy server is listening on port 8080, to proxy the outgoing connection to example.com.

The second parameter of setProxy() is optional and defaults to 8080.


<?php
require_once "HTTP/Request.php";

$req =& new HTTP_Request("http://example.com/");
$req->setProxy("proxy.example.com", 8080);
?>

Using proxy authorization

This is the same example as above, except that a username/password tuple is provided, which authorizes the user at the proxy server: The username is johndoe and the appendant password is foo.


<?php
require_once "HTTP/Request.php";

$req =& new HTTP_Request("http://example.com/");
$req->setProxy("proxy.example.com", 8080, "johndoe", "foo");
?>
